There was a time and place in which a young driver's first car was a rust-bucket, hand-me-down, fixer-upper, embarrassment of a vehicle. The only upside to purchasing this car was the automotive education received from its constant repair.
Fortunately, the 2017 Ford Fiesta is reasonably priced enough for the first-time new-car buyer to afford, yet sleek and sporty enough for the young car owner to enjoy.
Starting with the economic limits of the new buyer driving to their first "real" job, the new Ford Fiesta has a starting price at an astonishingly reasonable $13,660. And there are enough available features (SYNC 3 with SYNC AppLink, push-button start, rearview camera) to satisfy any tech-savvy driver. For leaner budgets, the Fiesta is also a pleasure at the gas pump, offering a whopping 27 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, making the purchase of the 2017 Ford Fiesta over a questionable used option a no-brainer!
